So for the lat couple of weeks I have noticed that my frogspawn hasn't been extending his tentacles. I have been treating with kick ich to help an ich problem in my tank so I'm thinking that's a contributeing factor but my water wuality is great.
Ammonias nitrites an nitrates 0
Cal 480
Mag 1750
Phos .23
kH 8
pH 8.0
I am also seeing what seems to b part of hi white skeleton showing so I don't know what that means?:(
 
Even though some people have positive results with Kick Ich many do not. I've personally never used it so I can't say for sure but I am not an advocate of treating a reef tank for Ich. Fallow is my personal pref.

With that being said... if you're seeing the skeleton that means either you've got some tissue loss or it's so "irritated" it's really retracting far... neither are good.

I'd do some hefty water changes and get some carbon running on that tank like yesterday and see if it improves over the next few weeks.

If you could get a couple of detailed pics of the coral that would help tremendously.
 
I used that crap and my tank took a year to recover. I found it really upset the balance. My euphyllias all died but one and I almost left the hobby. I can't prove it was kick ich but it started to happen within days of using it. They bleached and slowly withered away. They would close tightly several times throughout the day, look droppy, and poop about their symbiotic algae in long brown strings. I also lost a whack of zoas.
 
I am running the skimme an added a butt load of carbon to hopefully remove the crap from my water but I lost all if my sps. Even my most prized birdsnest. It grew from 3 branches to the size a little bigger then a softball in 4 months. And it's gone within a day due to rapid tissue loss. :(
 
If you look closely you can see the white skeleton.
